Welcome

My Blog's aim is to promote and encourage others to participate in the wonderful hobby that is Moth-trapping.So why do we do it? well for some people it is to get an insight into the world of Moths, for others it is to build a list of species much like 'Twitching' in the Bird world.The reason I do it....you never know what you might find when you open up that trap! I hope to show what different species inhabit our Country by getting people awareof what is out there.On this Blog you will find up-to-date records and pictures.I run a trap regularly in my garden here in Hertfordshire and enjoy doing field trips to various localities within Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire.

Please also check out the links in the sidebar to the right for other people's Blogs and informative Websites.

Thanks for looking & happy Mothing!

With a few mild days recently, the trap was uncovered and set-up for 4 hours yesterday evening, the temperature dropped rapidly and by the morning it was frosty.Just the 3 moths in that time but a new record of March Moth for the garden.Catch Report - 29-01-13 - Back Garden Stevenage - 1x 125w MV Robinson Trap

Sorry Ben, the scientist in me would not let me pass without pointing out that the word "species" is both singular and plural. The word "specie" is a completely separate word, something to do with coins..
